Normally, it’s common wisdom that, if you’ve got to see a bad movie, a
bad horror movie is the way to go. Unlike bad comedy, which tries to be
funny and isn’t, bad horror is generally pretty amusing and therefore
entertaining. “The Mangler” is a rather curious entry in this respect –
it is a solidly bad movie that, despite an outrageously silly premise
and a fair amount of scenery-chewing, manages to not be much fun.
Having said that, it still provides some kicks for both gore hounds and
connoisseurs of self-aware schlock.

In the 1950s, British science fiction writer John Beynon Harris ceased
using his own name, adopting “John Wyndham,” and changed his style. And
became the most significant British SF writer of the 1950s, with titles
such as Day of the Triffids, Out of the Deeps, The Chrysalids and The
Midwich Cuckoos. The latter was sold to the movies even before Wyndham
had finished writing it—pages ...

By the early 1970s, the great boom in British horror movies that
started in the late 1950s and thundered along through the 1960s was
running out of steam; “The Creeping Flesh” is a last gasp. Like many of
the best British horror movies of this period, and a few of the worst,
the movie costars Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee. However, by this
time, Lee seems to have been regarded the bigger appeal, as he is given
top billing, even though both Cushing and Lorna Heilbron have larger
roles.
The movie was directed by Freddie Francis; he’s one of the greatest
cinematographers in movie history, but what he really wanted to do was
direct. Unfortunately, ...

"Bones" bursts into the home theater with a throbbing basso beat from
the subwoofer on a surround sound system, as a man runs through the
night-shrouded street. Obvious fear motivates the guy, stoking the
viewer’s interest immediately. A thudding heartbeat later, the camera
pans to a building that looks like a skull, window eyes dormant with
vacancy but shadowed with dark purpose. The building sits alone in the
darkness, and the viewer can’t help but feel the weight of the
structure.
Then a hound with hellish red eyes races from the night, chasing after
the man. The story proceeds for a time, sleek and streamlined as a
sniper’s bullet. The movie’s subject matter and storytelling chooses
directness over subtlety. "Bones" is a horror story ...

James Wong and Glen Morgan first attracted attention by co-writing some
of the very best episodes of 'The X Files,' then went on to create
their own series, 'Space: Above and Beyond.' They spent time on
'Millennium' as well, but always wanted to get into feature films.
'Final Destination,' shot under the title "Flight 180," is their first,
and they didn't get far from 'The X Files.' Not only was this well-made
movie shot in Vancouver, where 'The X Files' was filmed until the
1999-2000 season, and uses some of the same crew, but Jeffrey Reddick's
story began as a spec script for the TV series.
